Crane Telematics
Customers can also use the system to generate custom reports for specially defined sites, such as fuel consumption or CO2 emissions. New cranes from the company are equipped with a standard wireless on board modem for connectivity. Cranes in the field can also be retrofitted.
The Liebherr system is based on the MyLiebherr portal. After registering their cranes, customers can download operating instructions or order spare parts. The portal also allows access to crane data so you can see the machines in your fleet and navigate directly to the desired model.
Liebherr Connect is also offered by the company to provide access to machine data and digital solutions and services. The connectivity solution is already integrated in various Liebherr models and can be retrofitted in earlier generations of machines. The system enables secure networking of the machine via cloud applications, including tower, mobile and crawler and maritime cranes and components.
Looking Ahead
According to Collins, Link-Belt will be continuing to look at data and storage capabilities for its telematics system to ensure they are providing only important information for crane users.“ We are still in an era of ensuring that standalone operation is maintained, especially for lifting and maintenance purposes,” he said.“ Over time, among other things, machine learning might better prepare parts ordering for routine maintenance and other daily operational needs.”
As mentioned earlier, Rydbom points out that telematics and cloud-based data enhances job planning efficiency and minimizes downtime by improving service planning, which ultimately results in more profitable investments.
“ Telematics transform the experience of crane owners and service providers by becoming a tool for daily routines,” said Stelter.“ With these solutions, crane owners can increase the availability and utilization rate of their fleets while reducing operating costs and environmental impact.”
Liebherr Connect provides access to crane data and digital solutions and services.
